Repeated Episodes Of Sudden Sharp Stabbing Pain In Chest On Golfing, Subsides Within An Hour. No Signs Later. What Could It Be?
While golfing.I swung and felt a somewhat sharp pain lower rt side below rib cage. Continued to play. A week later while playing...after 13 holes, hit a drive and almost went down..pain was like someone stabbed me. An hour later it was like it never happened. Didn t play again for 8 days even though I had NO discomfort. Then played ...8 holes NO problems at all. The out of the blue...with only a short 30 yd shot it happened again. Strange part is an hour later..nothing. And nothing since....any ideas?
The description is highly suggestive of muscle pain – spasm, sprain...
You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender...which could influence the diagnosis and outcome...
See an Internist / get yourself examined / at times, basic investigation may be necessary... Over The Counter (OTC) Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) / muscle relaxants / anxiolytics will be useful in the meanwhile... The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
